Luau

For years every once in awhile we will have a party at Granny's with all the ladies that take care of her. We do it because we like to get together and those ladies can cook and also Granny always loved parties! We had a Luau this time and it was fun.

Lexie has also started soccer. She is doing really well this year. She scored a goal in her first game! Last year she had no idea where the ball was and would even sit down in the field and pick grass. JD also loves going to the games but he wants to play too. He ran on the field and almost got tackled by a group of 4 year olds.

JD is constantly talking about balls. He wakes up in the morning talking about them and goes to sleep talking about them. His favorite is golf and basketball. He has a golf club in his hand almost constantly.

Katie me and chad are jealous of your trip to Vegas. We went a couple of years ago and had so much fun!! We wished we were there too!

Here are some Luau pictures and some other random ones that were on mama's camera.

Where did March Go?

I can't believe it has been this long since I blogged. We have had a busy March. Lexie had spring break for two weeks and me and Papa D had our birthdays. I actually had to sit down and figure out how old I was. I lost a year somewhere! We spent several days in Nashville with Mimi and came home with the stomach bug! Lexie had it, then JD, then Chad, and Papa D!! As several of you know I am a pukeaphobic but I have learned that being a mother means seeing lots of it sometimes! I think I am overcoming it! But I was sure tired of washing sheets because when kids get it it seems to happen in the middle of the night.
We got well and we had a visitor from New York, Patty. She was the nanny for the NY kids and has been there almost as long as I can remember. To us she is family and we love her! My kids warmed up to her quickly and we took her to see the Mississippi River, the Casino at Carruthersville, Chic, and Reelfoot lake. We had a great time and didn't want to see her go. We are now back to our normal schedule and I will post some pictures.
